Matthew Fox: 'I have never hit a woman before'

Matthew Fox will admit to many of his mistakes, but not the ones he claims he did not make. That means you aren’t going to hear him apologizing for hitting a woman any time soon.

“It’s been a long, trying year of sitting on my hands on a lot of negative s— said about me, when they’re the furthest things from who I am,” he tells Men’s Fitness. “In the 46 years I’ve been breathing on this planet, I have never hit a woman before. Never have, never will. Out of all the negative s—, the only thing that’s true is that I was arrested for a DUI.”

That’s not what his “Lost” costar Dominic Monaghan said earlier this year. Fox was accused in 2011 of punching a female bus driver in the crotch and breast after she refused to give him a ride, and Monaghan seemingly confirmed those reports by telling a fan that Fox “beats women, no thanks.”

Fox clearly doesn’t think very highly of his former costar following that incident.

“I will bet you any amount of money that I will never get behind the wheel of a car after even one drink,” he says. “The rest of it, the Cleveland situation, the Monaghan situation – was a pile of bulls–t, and I’m not gonna waste too much breath on that.”
